So regarding that old farmhouse we bought. There is the foundation of an old barn just west of the house. Still standing is the milk house from the years these folks ran a dairy operation. Holsteins from the looks of things...they painted pictures on the foundation. I bought all the land but the first fella to come along bought the house and a few acres and this fella was a Finn. He ran block down the middle of the milk house and installed a wood burner in the new wall. The remainder of the inside he covered in some sweet smelling planks. One side of the block wall has a mini-fridge and hooks for towels. The other side has benches and the back of the wood burner is inside there. On top of the wood burner is a rack full of smooth stones. Next to it is a big container of filtered water from the hydrant. I did some research...there is $5-10K into this sauna which turns out to be 8'x10' for the actual sauna and the same for the outside room with the mini-fridge. It's pretty nice.
Don't want to sound obtuse but, any tricks to operating this thing? You build a fire in the wood box. Piping runs from the water container into the rocks and back out again...I assume to heat the water. Then you ladle some water on the rocks? There is a ladle in there also. I just don't want to (A) get hurt or (B) burn down the milk house. Any Finns or people with wood burning sauna experience here?

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
